Ingredients
- 350 g sugar
- 150 g butter
- 6 eggs
- 2 tablespoons baking ammonia
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 50 g lukewarm milk
- 1 kg soft flour
Instructions
- Prepare the Meringue:
- Separate the egg whites into a bowl and whisk them into stiff peaks to create meringue.
- Combine Wet Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted (but not hot) butter, sugar, milk, and egg yolks. Beat until the ingredients are fully combined.
- Incorporate the Meringue:
- Gently fold the meringue into the mixture until it is fully incorporated.
- Add the Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually add the flour, baking ammonia, baking powder, and vanilla into the mixture, kneading as you go.
- If the dough is too sticky, add an extra handful or two of flour until the dough comes together and is no longer sticking to your hands.
- Rest the Dough:
- Grease your hands with a bit of oil and smooth over the surface of the dough in the bowl. Cover and let the dough rest for a while to make it easier to work with.
- Shape the Cookies:
- Lightly grease your hands with oil to prevent sticking while shaping the dough into cookie shapes of your choice.
- Bake:
- Place the cookies on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180-190°C (356-374°F) for 13-15 minutes, depending on your oven, until the cookies are lightly golden.
